Two group stages into single elimination with a set of regulation/promotion matches at the end of the season for placement in the next tournament which are seeded based on rank in the first group stage? What's not to understand?

I dont understand it but thats because I havent been trying too much. I read a few things at first and then decided, i will just watch and let the announcers tell me whats up.

I would like to vote on the "BW poll pls maybe?". But there is no such option. So i voted 'Don't care'. There could be a SC2 and a BW poll at the same time though. And everyone would be happy! Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year!!!

I don't understand it, but I know where to find stuff (flowcharts) in order to understand it, so I voted yes, reference materials ftw!

No , maybe someone can make a thread explaining the whole system

only thing I understand that there is a big tournament called GSL and u have qualifiers for that big tournament ( aka poker style ) .

Don't care. I like progaming obviously (that and strategytalk are like, the two major reasons to come here to TL, aren't they?), but not THAT much. As long as I get to see great games, I'm happy as can be!

I can understand people don't want to spend time reading/understanding every little bit of the format, but it annoys me that there is such a high prevalence of "omg cannot fathom".

At least I hope people can understand the basic idea:
Code S plays to win the Code S tournament, or at least avoid going down to Code A
Code A plays to try to get into Code S, or at least avoid losing code A.
Everyone else plays to try to get into Code A

I'm sure after watching it for awhile it will start to make sense.

Edit: After reading the post above me its actually pretty simple, haven't seen that before.

No, it is crazy confusing and I'm stupid and can't follow anything ever. In other words, yes.

Does it make a difference if you understand? All that matters to you the spectator are the games themselves.

Don't care because I am going to watch everything they put on gomtv.net anyway, so the format will reveal itself in the process

Edit: haven't tried to understand it, either
